LIKE RIGHT NOW WE'RE LEARNING
ABOUT THE FOX RIVER AND HOW MUCH
THAT CONTRIBUTED TO THE ECONOMY

I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS I'M
FINDING THE MOST INTERESTING IS
HOW RESILIENT THE PEOPLE OF

ELECTRICITY AND ALL BECAUSE THEY
HAD THAT NATURAL RESOURCE THAT
THEY TOOK SUCH AMAZING -- THEY
TOOK -- THEY MADE USE OF THAT
AMAZING NATURAL RESOURCE.

IMAGINE ARE MORE EXTENDED THAN
WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PROGRAM, BUT
THEY BECOME A NEW RESOURCE FOR
THE COMMUNITY, THE MUSEUM AT THE
CAPITOL OR LAWRENCE UNIVERSITY.
WE'VE ENRICHED THE ARCHIVE.
WE'VE WORKED WITH THE APPLETON
SCHOOL DISTRICT WITH OUR FOLKS
SHOWING YOUNG PEOPLE AND WORKING

STORYTELLING SKILLS, RESEARCH
SKILLS AND PRODUCE THEIR OWN
VIDEOS.

ANY LAWRENCE GRADS ARE AWARE,

TO EXPLORE THAT IN ONE OF THE
MOST CHALLENGING CONCERTS I
THINK WE'VE PRODUCED AT THE
PERFORMING ARTS SEVENTEEN CENTER WITH
THEIR KALEIDOSCOPE CONCERT,
WHICH I WILL SAY IS QUITE A
HAIR-RAISING EXPERIENCE.
THE EXTRAORDINARY HISTORY OF
LAWRENCE AND MUSIC AND BEING
THERE BEFORE EVEN THE COMMUNITY
STARTED AND WORKING TOGETHER AND
THIS COLLABORATION OF THE
COMMUNITY AND LAWRENCE IS A
WONDERFUL STORY TO SHARE KNOWN
WELL IN APPLETON, BUT NOW WE'RE

THE STATE, BECAUSE OF YOUR

FOR FOLKS WHO LOVE HISTORY, I
HOPE YOU KNOW THAT WE ALSO HAVE
A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT COMMITMENT
TO HISTORY FOR WISCONSIN
SCHOOLS.
ONE OF THE WAYS THAT WE SHARE
THAT IS THROUGH A PROJECT CALLED
WISCONSIN BIOGRAPHIES.
IN THERE ARE PROGRAM CONTENT AND
ACTIVITIES THAT ARE GEARED TO
REALLY INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE IN OUR
COMMUNITY AND STATE, INCLUDING
HARLEY DAVIDSON AND THE TWO OF
THEM STARTING THAT BUSINESS, THE
STORY OF KIMBERLY-CLARK AND THE
STORY OF SORT OF EARLY FOUNDING,
REALLY INSPIRING STORY OF ETHICS
AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND
ENTREPRENEURSHIP.
THEY HAVE STORIES ABOUT VEL
PHILLIPS.
OUR MOST RECENT ONE IS ONE I
WANT TO TELL YOU ABOUT BECAUSE
THIS IS A LITTLE BIT UP THE ROAD
FROM APPLETON IN KAUKAUNA.
WISCONSIN'S FIRST SCHOOL TEACHER
STARTED A SCHOOL IN KAUKAUNA.
THAT STORY IS NOT WELL-KNOWN.
IT'S WELL-KNOWN WITHIN TRIBAL
COMMUNITIES IN THE STATE, WITH
SOME TEACHERS, BUT WE ARE
EXCITED ABOUT SHARING HER STORY,
THIS REALLY IMPORTANT THING FOR
OUR STATE THIS FALL, COMING IN
NOVEMBER.
IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHO SHE IS,
PLEASE LOOK HER UP.
IT'S A REALLY IMPORTANT STORY OF
WISCONSIN.
THOSE ARE THE KINDS OF STORIES
WE BRING TO WISCONSIN SCHOOLS
AND ALSO BRING TO YOUR HOME WITH
THESE WONDERFUL DOCUMENTARIES.
IT'S ALL POSSIBLE BECAUSE OF
YOUR SUPPORT AT 1-800-236-3636.
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
YOUR SUPPORT CONTINUES THE
QUALITY PROGRAMS WE EXPECT HERE
AT PBS WISCONSIN.
BUT WE CAN'T DO THAT WITHOUT

THANK YOU GIFTS IF YOU CHOOSE TO
CALL IN AND PLEDGE YOUR SUPPORT.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO TAKE THESE,

LEVEL YOU CHOOSE.

EVERYTHING.

GIVING YOUR MONEY TO SUPPORT
QUALITY PROGRAMS TO LEARN MORE

YOU.

IT'S ABOUT THE PEOPLE OF THE
TOWN AND THE RELATIONSHIPS
BETWEEN THEM, ABOUT THE
RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN THE FAMILY
MEMBERS, WITH THIS NEW PERSON
COMING IN TO BE THE ASSISTANT.
IT'S ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIPS
WITH THE ANIMALS.
IT'S VERY SPECIAL.

THERE'S NO VIOLENCE.
THERE'S A LITTLE BLOOD AND GUTS
SOMETIMES WITH SOME OF THE
ANIMALS, BUT IT'S ALWAYS DONE
WITH A SENSE OF THE BEST WELFARE
FOR THE ANIMALS THAT YOU'RE
